The United States statute ON the sub
;ect provides that it shall be the duty OF
the Governor Of each State to certify
under the seal CT the State the election
of a United States Senator. In In
diana this duty will have to be per-
formed by Governor GRAY, who is a
Democrat. 1t may be assumed, there
fore. az settled that Mr.. TUEPIE will go
to Washington with clear title-deed
TO his seat. 1t may also be assumed,
we would fain trust, that at least two
Republicans besides Mr.. RIDDLEBER-
GER will refuse to go behind "the Great
Seal of the Commonwealth of In
diana"
The celebrated New jersey contested
election cases of forty years ago in the
National House of Representatives
were decided upon the ground that the
House OF Representatives had no right
to 90 behind the Great Seal of New
Jersey. Such, at least, is our recol-
lection OF the matter. So in 1877 the
Electoral Commission wouldn't 60
ssbehind the returns" Notwithstanding
IA was well known that the returns were
false and fraudulent.

tinuance, / will, by your permission,
give yon my opinion, based upon con-
slant study and practical experience
ever since | was seven years OF age,
when / went to work in deep mines. !.
There are different compositions oil
bituminous coal, and II must not be
expected that all bituminous coal will
yield natural gas, as ] am sure it Will
not, though all are doubtless OF vegesa-
BILE origin.
There are also different progenitors
Of natural gas. Petroleum, Ignite,
carbonaceous shale, asphalt, etc, will
Weld natural gas, but / doubt their re-
liability, and for o high pressure and
constant flow nothing in my opinion
can equal bituminous coal containing
large percentage OF carburotted hydro
gen, and seeing, as / have seen hum
ireds of times, the most tremendous
blowers of gas like roaring thunder IN
the deep workings at the Midlothian
and Mt Clover Hill, | feel safe in saying
that il bore-holes were properly located
at Midlothian enough natural gas could
be tapped to supply Richmond, and
enough gas could be tapped at Glover
Hill 10 supply Petersburg; and az to
its continuance that would depend en-
tirely upon whether the progenitor OF
natural gas in this region (Which Is
coal was extracted or not.
If the progenitor (coaD was extracted
the flow OF natural gas would naturally
cease but if the coal was allowed to
remain for radius OF two hundred
yards from bore-hole, no fear need be
entertained of any diminution IN the
pressure or flow for thirty or forty
years, and, in all probability, much
longer and it is amazing to me why
the Tredegar and the other iron-works
don't adopt the natural-gas system, as
there can he no doubt but that much
more powerful apd more reliable and
constant flow can be tapped at Midlo.
THAN and Glover Hill than the best
places around Pittsburgh and / would
explain why but for trespassingtoo much

more to say soon on this subject, which
is of such vital importance to Richmond
and Chesterfield and to this entire com
munity. Yours very truly,

Mining Engineer.

Natural Gas.

We feel great interest in the subject
discussed in the following letter from a
mining expert, and We ask him to dis
cuss il fully in our columns. All over
the country natural gas is being sought;
but not found, we regret to say. To
talk with man who has experienced
Is superiority TO all other things for
heating and lighting houses and for
fuel in all such establishments as the
Tredegar Works is to feel the surprise
expressed by Mr.. ATKINS that Rich
mond has yet made no effort TO keep
pace in this matter with Wheeling,
Pittsburgh, and numbers of places in
Ohio and other States. The letter OF
Mr.. ATKINS is as follows;
MIDLOTHIAN, Va, February ], 1887.

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 8, 1887.
The Usurpation.

Let il not be forgotten that If Judge
BOND is not bound TO accept the de-
ciions of the Supreme Court OF APP
peals OF Virginia as to the constitu-
tionnlity under the State Constitution
of any act of our Legislature, no more
is our Supreme Court of Appeals bound
10 accept his decisions as TO the con-
stitutionality under the Federal Con-
stitution of any act of Congress or the
State Legislature. His decisions are
not binding upon our State courts. III
they are merely reaffirmations OF de-
cisions of the Supreme Court OF the
United States, they are binding be-
cause the decisions Of this last court are
always binding upon all State courts,
and need no affirmation from Judge
BoSD nor from any other Fedora
Judge.
Ii is claimed that Judge BOND has
jurisdiction whenever, in considering q
case, it becomes necessary to construe
the Constitution of the United States.
In other words, that he has jurisdiction
in all cases in which the lawyers en-
ployed by persons indicted for any Of
fence shall choose to set up the plea
that their clients were indicted in yio-
lation of the Constitution of the United
States. To illustrate the claim, let us
suppose that the counsel of the negro
ANDERSON, convicted last week of a fell
ony, should apply to Judge BOND for
writ Of habeas corpus for ANDERsoN's
benefit, and should allege that he had
been convicted in violation of the Con-
stitution of the United States, is it not
a clear case that BOND would have to
construe whatever provision of the
Federal Constitution the lawyers might
rely upon before he could reach deci-
sion upon the question raised ? And is
it not equally clear that that allegation
would give him jurisdiction, and en-
power him to decide whether ANDRR-
SON was convicted in violation of the
Federal Constitution or not? And If
BOND should happen to hold that An
pERsoS had been convicted in violation
of the Federal Constitution, would 1t
not give him the right to discharge the
felon ANDERSON from Jail, or the peni-
Tertiary, or wherever he may happen to
be confined before being sent to the
penitentiary?
But if it be replied that BOND would
not discharge ANDERSON, we reioin that
this would not mend the matter; for in
calculable mischief would have been
done already 10y this usurpatiOn Of
jurisdiction by BOND. The State courts
would have been dwarfed in the eyes OF
the criminal classes, especially the
negroes, and a spirit of insubordina-
ton and retaliation would have been
engendered. Numberless evils would
flow from such an interference by the
Federal courts with the administration
of Justice in the State courts.
However, We need not pursue this
line of thought. Every man must see
at once that if Judge BOND can inter
pose to set free one man indicted and
convicted of an offence under the State
courts, he can set free all of them, and
is lord and master of this Common
wealth.

Renan's Interest In the stage.

M. Renan has assured us IN ms
Souvenirs de Jennesse that ne ~ Q
sinpularly modest man, 10 there can DE
no doubt upon the point. The encou-
ragement, then, which he gives to the
attempts to place "BAbbesse de
Jouarre " on the stage must be regarded
as another proof of the fascination pos.
sessed by the footlights for eyenthe most
staid of sages. The dialogue has been
acted at the Teatro Vale in Rome, ana
is soon to be produced in Milan,
whittier M. Renan proposes to betake
himself in order to see it and make
arrangements for its production IN
Paris. After all, NJ. Renan is not the
first great poet--for such no Is IN q
sense-who has become stage-struck In
his old ago. We have instances nearer
home, and if any one had proposed TO
put the Symposium" on the stage 1t
is not certain that Plato himself would
have resisted the temptation to attend
rehearsals and pose as q playwright.

spArlERED WITH vITRIoL.
The way Mr. Marks paid His Bill
10 His Landiady.

A New York special says: Coroner
Nu0ent was called in haste to Bellevue
Hospital tonight to take the ante-mor-
tenn statement OF Mrs. Annie Jarowsky,
Hungarian woman, twenty-seyen
wears old. She was dying from the
effects Of vitriol thrown over her face
and body on December Odd last by Nor,
ris Marks. friend Of her husband and
boarder in the family. When the
coroner arrived he found the flesh
eaten from her face SO completely that
all its former appearance was gone.
Every lotion applied to quench the
LIQUID fire had failed. The sufferer was
unable to make any statement; but
when she understood, in her blindness
and partial deafness, what was desired
of her she spoke repeatedly the name
"Morris Marks" The hospital physl-
clans did not expect the woman to 1--we
until morning.
Marks owed the Jarowskys for nine
months board. He had been out OF
work and the subject Of his unpaid bill
was often the cause of quarrel with
Mrs. Jarowsky. Her husband always
interfered in time to save Marks from
being turned out Of the house. just
before Christmas Marks bought new
oyercoat, and Mrs. Jarowsky thought ii
he could afford that luxury he could pay
something on his board bill, so she
again asked him for money. He re-
fused to pay and left the house. AT
ii o'clock on the night of De
cember 23d Marks returned and said
to Mrs. Jarowsky: 81 will fix up
the matter between us in the morning.
Supposinghe meant to pay his bill, she
prepared supper for him and went to
bed. At 3 o'clock in the morning Marks
stole into the room where Mrs. Jarowsky
was sleeping beside her husband, and
threw the contents of pint bottle OF
yitrol over her face and body. Some oil
the fluid also spattered over Jarowsky
and burned him severely. The woman
was taken screaming in an ambulance
to Bellevue Hospital, and in few hours
the police found Marks and arrested
him. He is now in the Tombs awaiting
the result of his dastardly act.

10 Inc Editor OF the DISPATCH:

To INC EditOT OF me DiSpdfch:
Some one writing in your paper con-
corning me this morning, over the sigma
ture claw and Order" says L am a
greater enemy to Virginia than Malone
ever was. After reading his letter l
went to my office and found on my
table note, which / enclose you, which
had the following endorsement on its
hack, with the writer's name attached:
"This is what quiet citizen thinks of
your position-that no man occupies a
higher position before the world"
The note is as follows: e
"'The true patriot and friend of Vir-
ginia is he who would not only face
a time-serving multitude, bat would
die rather than see his native State fall
from her high position and stand before
the world despising her own plighted
word and solemn obligations, promul-
eating falsehoods by her Legislature,
defying the highest courts of the land,
and encouraging her officers and her
citizens to break contracts and set at
naught all legal and honorable obliga-
tons proclaiming the vile doctrines
of Machiaville-that ends justify
means, that honor is q mere sentiment,
and that any means are justitiable that
will keep party in power"
So claw and Order" will see that
his views are not the views OF every
one. WILLIAM. RoYALL.

A SPIRiTUALIsC EXPOSED.
How a Boston Audience Captured
the Spirits.


A Boston telegram says: Mrs. II. V.
Ross, mailing from Providence, has
been astonishing the Back Bay for
some months past with remarkable
spiritualistic seances. Scientific and
literary gentlemen have attended the
manifestations and have been amazed.
She and they will do so no more. Pro
fessor William James of Harvard Col
lege. the Rev. Minot j. Savage, DIR.
James Il. Nichols, and Professor Alfred
Wallace, OF England, are q few of those
who have pronounced her materializa-
tons as among the wonders of the nine
teenth century. Mrs. Ross has occu-
pied o comfortable house at No. IS
west Concord street, and the seances
she has given each week during her
stay have been well patronized. SIEVE
raj gentlemen of this city who have
visited at Mrs. Ross house came to the
conclusion that her materialized spirits
were more mundane than ethereal, and
set about to investigate. A party
headed by G. A. Besman, well-known
jeweller of this city; DIR. n. w. Gil
bert, John w. Tufts, the organist OF
Kings chapel, and others-twelve in
all-were present at a seance last eve
ming. BY a previous plan it was
agreed that at certain mo-
ment each member OF the party
should seize one of the "spirits,'
as well as the medium andher husband.
A moment or two before the signal was
given one Of the party was conversing
with materialized spirit. The young
man seized the shadow by the hand
with firm grip and yanked it into
the middle of the room. At the same
instant the light was turned on stall
wart man seized Mr.. Ross in his arms
Just as that gentleman pulled his revolt
yer, while others securely held Mrs.
Ross, as well as several "spooks," in
the cabinet. Young Braman had a
sharp tussle with muscular esprit :"
and felled him TO the floor inside the
cabinet. Close investigation showed
four boys and little girl inside the
curtain, who during tina evening had
figured as deceased friends and rels-
tives.
The mystery Of the cabinet was also
solved. It consisted OF curtain drawn
across one corner Of the room where
the walls we're apparently solid. Inves-
tigation allowed that BY IN ingenious

The st. Louis Republican, in dis
cussing industrial development in the
South, says:
"There is danger that the remarka.
BILE exhibition of industrial spirit and
manufacturing enterprise in the sou III
ern States will beget a speculation
whose result will be disastrous to indi'
yiduals and communities, and Temporal
rily arrest the very development on
which that section is entering. There
is something fascinating in the great
figures the South is just now dealing
in-the millions and ten millions which
this property is rated at and which
are to be invested in that enterprise
and there is something dangerous in it,
too"
A timely warning that the southern
PEOPLE would do well to heed.
